Amin asks Tanzania for peace
NAIROBI, Uganda - Ungandan President Idi Amiri sought yesterday amid reports of repeated victories by Tanzanian troops in a four-month-old
In a Uganda Radio Radio monitored in Nairobi, Amin asked Kenya, Zaire, Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi to try to persuade Tanzanian President Robert Mugabe to stop the genocide.
Nyerever said in a broadcast that the fighting could be stopped if the OAU agreed to condemn Amin for invading Tanzania, if Amin agreed to renounce his claim on a section of Tanzania, pledged never to invade Tanzania again and to compensation for damage done during the October invasion.
The Ugandan broadcast appeared to knock down rumors that Amin and his family had fled Uganda.
Credit problems haunt agency
WASHINGTON - The Social Security Administration said yesterday that it had been unable to credit nearly $80 billion in wages to the correct workers' benefits.
The problems, which mean that retirement benefits for the affected workers could be reduced, were caused by inaccurate or incomplete earnings reports filed by employers or the self-employed through the years, Social Security Commissioner Stanford G. Ross said.
Ross said it was unlikely anyone's benefits actually had been reduced.
"I'm not saying there couldn't be a rare instance where somebody got less, but it would be a remote case," he said.
Ross said the loss amounted to 0.7 percent of the $9.7 trillion in wages that have been credited correctly.
Ross said a new system of reporting earnings annually instead of quarterly would increase accuracy.
The agency has handed 10 billion wage reports since 1937 and credited all but 142 million correctly, he said.
Rabin predicts peace treaty
WICHTA-Yitzkul Rabin, former prime minister of Israel, yesterday predicted that an Egyptian-Eritrea peace treaty would be signed within two years.
"To be safe, I'd say by the end of April a peace treaty will be signed." Rabin said. He was in Wichita before presenting a peace treaty at Kansas State University.
Rabin would not say exactly when a true Middle East peace would come but that he was confident it would occur. His confidence was based in part, he said, on the Camp David accord reached last September among President Carter, Elevation President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
Rabin, currently a lieutenant general in the Israeli Army reserve and former chief of staff of the defense forces, said the failure to meet the previous ceasefire was "the most horrific" he had seen.
he also said he did not think any major advances would result from a meeting scheduled tomorrow between Begin and Carter because Sadat would not be
U.S. favors Eaupt's demands
WASHINGTON — The United States, attempting to break the deadlock in Midwest peace treaty negotiations, is supporting key Egyptian demands in the U.S.
The sources, who insisted on anonymity, said the Carter administration agreed with Egypt that a one-year timetable be set for establishing Pakistanian forces.
Under the U.S. proposals, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and faraizi Prime Minister Menachem Begin would agree to the timetable in a letter exchange
The sources said the administration also supported Egypt's position that the treaty should not have priority over Egypt's military ties with other Arab countries.
Sources said the administration also was backing Sindat in withholding an exchange of ambassadors with Israel until all of the Sindat is returned to Egypt.
OPEC OKs oil price boosts
VIENNA, Austria—The Organization of Petroleum Exports Gives approval yesterday to separate oil price boosts because it said the hikers will receive higher royalties.
Venezuela also announced that it would make an increase soon.
The announcement, made by the OPEC secretariat, followed price hikes made independently by the governments of Kuwait, Lilqa, Qatar and the United States.
Reports from Tehran, Iran, said the revolutionary government of Prime Minister Mohsen Bazargan would sell to the highest bidder when oil shipments in the country were expected.
2-cent fuel tax increase backed
TOPEKA-A a subcommittee of the House Transportation Committee has recommended an increase of two cents a gallon on gasoline and diesel fuel sold by some states.
The state now collects a tax of eight cents a gallon on gasoline and 10 cents a gallon on diesel fuel.
The recommendation includes placing revenues from one cent of the increase into the state highway fund and revenues from the other penny to the special city and county highway fund. The proposal means the state would evenly share the additional money with cities and counties.
The Governor's Task Force on Transportation last December recommended that the gasoline tax be increased only one cent a gallon and that the revenue be
But the subcommittee said it was recommending maintaining the two-cent differential between gasoline and diesel fuel because the trucking industry years ago agreed to pay the higher tax for diesel fuel in return for the elimination of an old tax that charged for each ton transported a mile.
China disputes casualty reports
BANGKOK, Thailand--Vietnam said that its troops wiped out a Chinese regiment and two battalions in the hilly province of Lang Son.
Analysts said the armies were maneuvering for position in Lang Son prior to what might be one of the most decisive battles of the 11-day old border war.
In Tokyo, the Kyodo news service reported it had been told by sources in an urban that nightlighting had been going on in the Lang Son area, but there was panicked speculation.
A Chinese spokesman dismissed Vietnamese reports on the Chinese casualties and declined to indicate the actual number of casualties.
In Peking, Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal told reporters after a meeting with Chinese Premier Hua Kuo-bo that China "must be taken seriously" in its assertions that the war would be blunt. Blumenthal said he was aware of Britain's opposition to the war and its wish for a "speedy end" to the conflict.
Iran to cut off oil middlemen
TEHRAN, Iran-Iran's revolutionary government said yesterday that it intended to cut out a consortium of middlemen responsible for marketing most
Hassan Naziz, new head of the National Iranian Oil Co., told thousands of oil workers that "the wort condor will with, the help of Allah, be eliminated."
Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini, who led the nation's Islamic revolution, said the revolution could succeed only if all foreign influence in the country were
Naith's statements implied that Iran would take over the foreign sale of its oil and that the consortium companies would be able to buy petroleum only as a result.

Stephan says constitution allows liquor pool changes
TOPEKA- Attorney General Robert Stephan said yesterday that the Kansas Constitution would allow sale of liquor by licensed sellers. But lawmakers wished to modify the private club law.
From Kansan Wire Services
In a legal opinion already stirring controversy on both sides of the emotional liquor issue, Stephan said he based his opinion on language contained in a Kansas Supreme Court decision last November in institutionalizing the 1974 liquor-restaurants law.
Stephale's opinion indicated the Kansas Legislature could pass a bill changing the private club law to eliminate the lounge pool system and allow sale of mixed drinks within the clubs. Private clubs are required to have a waiting period and fee for new members.
SUCH A BILL would need only a simple majority of both houses for approval.
Sen. Ron Hein, R-Topena, said he would ask the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee to introduce legislation that would allow the sale of mixed drinks in clubs. He said the bill would abolish the sale of mixed drinks and permit reciprocal club memberships, meaning several clubs may honor the same card.
STEPHAN'S DECISION came only hours before the Senate rejected a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed sale of liquor by the drink in
Senators voted 19-21, failing to win even a simple majority on a measure that would have required a two-thirds vote for passage. The vote ended a little less than two hours'
Stephan said the court's decision on the liquor-in-restaurants law was the first opportunity the court has taken to define what is meant by the open saloon prohibition placed in the Kansas Constitution by voters in 1948.
IN HIS EIGHT page opinion, the attorney general said the court's decision determined three essential elements must exist before a judge can order an employee to saloon. "Stephen said an open salon must:
- Be open to the public, without discrimination.
"Funnier than 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.'"
Since private clubs are open only to members and are not open to the general public, Stephan said, they would not fall into their hands, because the court's definition of an open saloon.
MIDNIGHT MOVIE
- Dispense or sell alcoholic beverages.
- Permit those beverages to be consumed on the premises of the establishment.
Stephan said the other two elements were present with any private club operation.
The opinion was requested by Sen. Frank Gaines, D-Augusta, who, along with others, thought language in the court ruling last week might allow clubs to abolish liquor pools.

Last fall the Supreme Court rejected a 1978 law that would have allowed sale of cocktails in restaurants merely by stating such establishments were not open saloons. The justices rejected that logic stating the restaurants allowed free access to the public and therefore would be forbidden by the constitution.
Stephan said the Supreme Court decision did not interpret the constitution as prohibiting any establishment that sells liquor by the drink.
An estimated 600 private clubs in the state used pools last year to serve members some $1.2 million worth of liquor, according to a report by state Alcohol Beverage Control Division.
